¹ And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.

² Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.

³ He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.

⁴ Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counselors after the death of his father to his destruction.

⁵ He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.

⁶ And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.

⁷ And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

⁸ And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.

⁹ And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

¹⁰ But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

¹¹ But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.

¹² And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

¹ And the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jerusalem ^H3389 made ^H4427 Ahaziah ^H274 his youngest ^H6996 son ^H1121 king ^H4427 in his stead: for the band of men ^H1416 that came ^H935 with the Arabians ^H6163 to the camp ^H4264 had slain ^H2026 all the eldest. ^H7223 So Ahaziah ^H274 the son ^H1121 of Jehoram ^H3088 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 reigned. ^H4427

² Forty ^H705 and two ^H8147 years ^H8141 old ^H1121 was Ahaziah ^H274 when he began to reign, ^H4427 and he reigned ^H4427 one ^H259 year ^H8141 in Jerusalem. ^H3389 His mother's ^H517 name ^H8034 also was Athaliah ^H6271 the daughter ^H1323 of Omri. ^H6018

³ He also walked ^H1980 in the ways ^H1870 of the house ^H1004 of Ahab: ^H256 for his mother ^H517 was his counsellor ^H3289 to do wickedly. ^H7561

⁴ Wherefore he did ^H6213 evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD ^H3068 like the house ^H1004 of Ahab: ^H256 for they were his counsellors ^H3289 after ^H310 the death ^H4194 of his father ^H1 to his destruction. ^H4889

⁵ He walked ^H1980 also after their counsel, ^H6098 and went ^H3212 with Jehoram ^H3088 the son ^H1121 of Ahab ^H256 king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 to war ^H4421 against Hazael ^H2371 king ^H4428 of Syria ^H758 at Ramothgilead: ^{H7433 H1568} and the Syrians ^H7421 smote ^H5221 Joram. ^H3141

⁶ And he returned ^H7725 to be healed ^H7495 in Jezreel ^H3157 because of the wounds ^H4347 which were given ^H5221 him at Ramah, ^H7414 when he fought ^H3898 with Hazael ^H2371 king ^H4428 of Syria. ^H758 And Azariah ^H5838 the son ^H1121 of Jehoram ^H3088 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 went down ^H3381 to see ^H7200 Jehoram ^H3088 the son ^H1121 of Ahab ^H256 at Jezreel, ^H3157 because he was sick. ^H2470

⁷ And the destruction ^H8395 of Ahaziah ^H274 was of God ^H430 by coming ^H935 to Joram: ^H3141 for when he was come, ^H935 he went out ^H3318 with Jehoram ^H3088 against Jehu ^H3058 the son ^H1121 of Nimshi, ^H5250 whom the LORD ^H3068 had anointed ^H4886 to cut off ^H3772 the house ^H1004 of Ahab. ^H256

⁸ And it came to pass, that, when Jehu ^H3058 was executing judgment ^H8199 upon the house ^H1004 of Ahab, ^H256 and found ^H4672 the princes ^H8269 of Judah, ^H3063 and the sons ^H1121 of the brethren ^H251 of Ahaziah, ^H274 that ministered ^H8334 to Ahaziah, ^H274 he slew ^H2026 them.

⁹ And he sought ^H1245 Ahaziah: ^H274 and they caught ^H3920 him, (for he was hid ^H2244 in Samaria,) ^H8111 and brought ^H935 him to Jehu: ^H3058 and when they had slain ^H4191 him, they buried ^H6912 him: Because, said ^H559 they, he is the son ^H1121 of Jehoshaphat, ^H3092 who sought ^H1875 the LORD ^H3068 with all his heart. ^H3824 So the house ^H1004 of Ahaziah ^H274 had no power ^H3581 to keep ^H6113 still the kingdom. ^H4467

¹⁰ But when Athaliah ^H6271 the mother ^H517 of Ahaziah ^H274 saw ^H7200 that her son ^H1121 was dead, ^H4191 she arose ^H6965 and destroyed ^H1696 all the seed ^H2233 royal ^H4467 of the house ^H1004 of Judah. ^H3063

¹¹ But Jehoshabeath, ^H3090 the daughter ^H1323 of the king, ^H4428 took ^H3947 Joash ^H3101 the son ^H1121 of Ahaziah, ^H274 and stole ^H1589 him from among ^H8432 the king's ^H4428 sons ^H1121 that were slain, ^H4191 and put ^H5414 him and his nurse ^H3243 in a bedchamber. ^{H2315 H4296} So Jehoshabeath, ^H3090 the daughter ^H1323 of king ^H4428 Jehoram, ^H3088 the wife ^H802 of Jehoiada ^H3077 the priest, ^H3548 (for she was the sister ^H269 of Ahaziah,) ^H274 hid ^H5641 him from ^H6440 Athaliah, ^H6271 so that she slew ^H4191 him not.

¹² And he was with them hid ^H2244 in the house ^H1004 of God ^H430 six ^H8337 years: ^H8141 and Athaliah ^H6271 reigned ^H4427 over the land. ^H776

¹ And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead; for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.

² Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.

³ He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.

⁴ And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

⁵ He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram.

⁶ And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

⁷ Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went unto Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

⁸ And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them.

⁹ And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And the house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.

¹⁰ Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

¹¹ But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.

¹² And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

---

¹ And the inhabitants of Jerusalem cause Ahaziah his youngest son to reign in his stead, (for all the elder had the troop slain that came in with the Arabians to the camp,) and Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigneth.

² A son of twenty and two years `is' Ahaziah in his reigning, and one year he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother `is' Athaliah daughter of Omri;

³ he also hath walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother hath been his counsellor to do wickedly.

⁴ And he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counsellors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.

⁵ Also, in their counsel he hath walked, and goeth with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel to battle against Hazael king of Aram, in Ramoth-Gilead, and they of Ramah smite Joram;

⁶ and he turneth back to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds with which they had smitten him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah hath gone down to see Jehoram son of Ahab, in Jezreel, for he `is' sick;

⁷ and from God hath been the destruction of Ahaziah, to come unto Joram: and in his coming he hath gone out with Jehoram unto Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

⁸ And it cometh to pass, in Jehu's executing judgment with the house of Ahab, that he findeth the heads of Judah and sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and slayeth them.

⁹ And he seeketh Ahaziah, and they capture him, (and he is hiding himself in Samaria), and bring him in unto Jehu, and put him to death, and bury him, for they said, `He `is' son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart;' and there is none to the house of Ahaziah to retain power for the kingdom.

¹⁰ And Athaliah mother of Ahaziah hath seen that her son is dead, and she riseth and destroyeth the whole seed of the kingdom of the house of Judah.

¹¹ And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him from the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, and putteth him and his nurse into the inner part of the bed-chambers, and Jehoshabeath daughter of king Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she hath been sister of Ahaziah, hideth him from the face of Athaliah, and she hath not put him to death.

¹² And he is with them in the house of God hiding himself six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.

⁶ And he returned to be healed in Jizreel because of the wounds that were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jizreel; for he was sick.

⁷ But his coming to Joram was from God the complete ruin of Ahaziah. And when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

⁸ And it came to pass when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that attended upon Ahaziah, and he slew them.

⁹ And he sought Ahaziah; and they caught him (for he had hid himself in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is a son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And in the house of Ahaziah there was no one who was able to [hold] the kingdom.

¹⁰ And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose up and exterminated all the royal seed of the house of Judah.

¹¹ But Jehoshabeath the daughter of the king took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not slay him;

⁷ Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

⁸ It happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and killed them.

⁹ He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu, and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart. The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.

¹⁰ Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

---

¹ And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.

² Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.

³ He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother was his teacher in evil-doing.

⁴ And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the family of Ahab did; for after the death of his father they were his guides to his destruction.

⁵ Acting on their suggestion, he went with Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the bowmen.

⁶ And he went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which they had given him at Ramah when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to see Jehoram, the son of Ahab, because he was ill.

⁷ Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.

⁸ Now when Jehu was effecting the punishment of the family of Ahab, he came to the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers, the servants of Ahaziah, and put them to death.

⁹ And he went in search of Ahaziah; and when they came where he was, (for he was in a secret place in Samaria,) they took him to Jehu and put him to death; then they put his body to rest in the earth, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, whose heart was true to the Lord. So the family of Ahaziah had no power to keep the kingdom.

¹⁰ Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom of Judah put to death.

¹¹ But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him and the woman who took care of him in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest and sister of Ahaziah, kept him safe from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.

¹² And she kept him safe with her in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah was ruling the land.
